Did you already know about celebrity Chef J. Kenji López-Alt? His love for Washington State has become legendary — and for good reason!
Who Exactly Is J. Kenji López-Alt?
He’s a James Beard Award cookbook-winningchef who originally hails from the East Coast. After a few prestigious stints, including being a test cook for America’s Test Kitchen, Kenji decided to make Seattle his home base. The West Coast is, after all, the best coast, ha!
Kenji now lives in Seattle with his wife and kids. His cookbooks, The Food Lab, The Wok, and Every Night is Pizza Night are New York Times best sellers, and my friends who are foodies talk about him to me all the time.
These days, you can find Chef Kenji on social media and his website recommending his favorite restaurants across the country (mostly in Seattle) .
